Default Recording the frequency of Yes/No Fields

Hi all,
I'm designing a database that requires users to specify the number of times
a Yes/No field occurs. This number is not required if the choice is No but if
Yes, I plan to create a drop down menu for the user to specify the number of
times the choice occured.
My first thought is to create a Frequency field for each choice but then I
thought there must be a better way to do it. I came up with an idea to create
a Frequency table (tblFrequency) described below:

tblFrequency:
Field: FreqID
Field: Freq

I'm planning to make FreqID a foreign key on my Incidents table which
contains the choices (Yes/No) fields.

The problem is that I'm somewhat short of ideas on how to make this work.
Thanks for your patience.
